In Tuesday’s 91-90 Loss to the Atlanta Dream, Caitlin Clark had 27 points, 11 assists, five rebounds, and two steals. With those 27 Points and 11 assists, Clark hit the 25-point, 10-assists mark for the sixth time in her young career, breaking a WNBA record held by the New York Liberty’s Sabrina Ionescu. Clark achieved this mark in just 42 career games, which is crazy to think about for some people, but not the people who have followed her career up to this point. So let’s look at this performance in more detail, along with some of the other records she has broken in her career.
Clark’s Tuesday Night Performance in Review
Clark in the loss on Tuesday was phenomenal as always; she had a +5 plus/minus, along with the all-around stats to go along with the 27 points and 11 assists that got her past Ionescu’s record. Clark was great in a close loss, although the 9-20 shooting from the field probably could’ve been a little better for the former Iowa Hawkeye.
She was the star player once again for her team, and Clark is going to be one of those players in the long run this season who is going to be in that MVP race with the likes of A’ja Wilson, Napheesa Collier, and Breanna Stewart. Performances like this will go a long way toward achieving that dream for her in the long run.
Final Thoughts
Clark has broken a lot of records in her career up to this point in her basketball life, including the all-time scoring mark in NCAA history. In her Rookie Season, she broke the single-season assists record in her rookie season. Also, on opening day against the Sky with the triple-double that she recorded, she was the fastest player to three triple-doubles in WNBA history. To say the least, she is used to breaking records like the record on Tuesday and will continue to break records throughout her entire career.
